Evangelist Will Graham brings message of hope to Japan

Will Graham in Koriyama, FukushimaPublished 03 October 2013  |  Christian Newswire – Christianity Today

Evangelist Will Graham proclaimed the Gospel this weekend to an area of the world that has been devastated by an earthquake, a tsunami, and now a massive leak of radiation. Into this seemingly dark situation, the hope of Jesus was shared with the 3,181 Japanese in attendance at the two-day Celebration of Hope Fukushima with Will Graham, and 188 came forward at the invitation to commit their lives to Christ.

Prior to the event there were only a reported 4,100 Christians in the entire prefecture of Fukushima.

Seventy area churches — including 26 from the host city of Koriyama, and 44 from other locations in Fukushima prefecture — partnered together with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association to host the event inside the College Memorial Hall on the campus of Koriyama Women’s University.

On March 11, 2011, the prefecture of Fukushima became known to the world. A 9.0 magnitude earthquake rocked the area, followed by a deadly tsunami which swept away houses and claimed the lives of more than 15,000 Japanese. The subsequent meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant released radiation into the air and water, driving people from their homes.

“I know that you’ve experienced a lot of turmoil. I can tell you this, there’s a God that understands. He sees you and knows you right now,” said evangelist Will Graham to the amassed crowd. “Tonight I want you to know that Jesus Christ loves you. He wants to give you a new beginning; a fresh life.”

Prophecy Scholar: America At The Crossroads

America as the crossroadsPaul McGuire http://www.wnd.com/

America faces two futures, says internationally-recognized prophecy expert and Fox News, CNN and History Channel commentator Paul McGuire in his new book, “A Prophecy of the Future of America.”

In one scenario, the church and the nation turns back to God and experiences what world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham calls an end-times “great spiritual awakening.”In the other, America doesn’t repent of its immorality and experiences a “crisis of unprecedented proportions” – a complete economic collapse, a surprise nuclear or terrorist attack or a wave of devastating earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, solar flares and other cataclysmic disasters.“Billy Graham is the closest thing we have in America to a genuine prophet of God, and I believe God is using him to issue a prophetic warning and a prophetic message of hope to America,” said McGuire, who hosted the nationally syndicated “Paul McGuire Show” for a decade.“It is one every one of us should heed, and I totally agree with him, I support what he’s doing, and I urge everyone to get involved in the kind of repentance he’s calling for,” McGuire said. “I personally urge everyone to get involved because this is the only hope for America.”

Sayujya Thampuratti belongs to the Hindu Royal family of Kerala in India, and she shared recently about how Jesus came to her one day—revealing Himself to be the One Way to God the Father—and changed her life forever.

“From childhood I was an idol worshiper,” says Sayujya. She describes in the posting how she had been “offering flowers to [her] idols” when one of them fell from her hand and broke into several pieces. She became very upset and “cried with a deep sorrow,” she says.

“While I was crying, Somebody touched me on the shoulder. I thought it was my mother…the Person touched my shoulder [and] called me ‘My daughter,'” described Sayujya.

“I was shocked because it was a gentleman’s [voice]. I stood up immediately and turned towards Him; but I found nobody behind me. I looked around the corners. I was surprised to [find] nothing because I was quite sure that [Someone] had touched me and called me as daughter,” continued Sayujya.

The last weekend was truly history making in Alice Springs where Pr Daniel and a team from CTFM ministered at three services and saw God pour out His healing anointing for Reconciliation.

Many people from several churches, Indigenous and non-Indigenous gathered together in one place in one accord to worship the Lord. There were also several Pastors who were at the meeting.

We were told by several people that it had not rained for almost 6 months.

On Saturday night all the Indigenous people stood in the middle and all the non-Indigenous people came around them and started praying.

Pr Daniel praying for healingPr Daniel washing the feet of Aunty Margaret, the Head ElderThe Spirit of God fell in the place and there was real repentance and asking forgiveness from each other. Then Pr Daniel challenged the church to rise up and take her stand. He stated, “If we repent and pray as in 2 Chro 7: 13-16, we will see the rain.”

On Sunday morning as he was preaching at the Apostolic church it started to rain and everyone started clapping. Glory to God.

On Sunday night the place was full with many Indigenous people and others. Led by the Holy Spirit, Pr Daniel started washing the feet of the Indigenous people. Then many others did the same.

At this point many started weeping and God brought great healing to many hearts. At the meeting an Indigenous man stated, “I have never seen the white fellow wash the black fellow’s feet before. I cannot believe that this is happening in Alice.”

Many hugged each other and there were many tears of joy. Aunty Margaret, the Elder of the Arunta Tribe and recipient of the ‘Order Of Australia’, who had welcomed the Queen of England, Price Charles, The Pope and many other VIPs, stated,

“In my life I have never seen anything like this happen in Alice Springs. This is truly the hand of God. I am so deeply touched. I have not seen my people so happy in a long time.”

A “Miracle” and Heroic Actions bring Hope out of Typhoon’s Desolation in the Philippines

(Central Philippines)—Some help is arriving for those devastated by last week’s Typhoon Haiyan which slammed the central islands of the Philippines, but more help is desperately needed. The huge storm tore apart whole cities and left at least 1,774 confirmed dead so far, though officials fear the death count could rise to around 10,000.

As survivors of Typhoon Haiyan wait and plead for assistance after being overwhelmed by the massive storm surge; accounts of heroism and a “miracle” baby’s birth bring a glimmer of hope into the horrendous scene.

According to the SkyNews report, 21-year-old Emily Ortega—also eight months pregnant—had evacuated to a shelter when the typhoon slammed into her city of Tacloban, flooding it.

Clinging to a post, Emily was able to survive the surging water, and eventually she reached “relative” safety in the airport, receiving help from a military doctor there. Emily told officials how eleven of her family members, including two daughters, had reportedly “vanished” in the storm, which may have triggered her labor.

Billy Graham sounds alarm for 2nd Coming

Evangelist Billy GrahamBy Troy Anderson – World Net Daily – 23rd October 2013

Just as Noah did in ancient times, world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham is sounding the alarm that the Second Coming is “near” and signs of the end of the age are “converging now for the first time since Jesus made those predictions.”

Earlier this month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the United Nations General Assembly “biblical prophecies are being realized.”

And last week, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., claimed the world has entered the last days.

“When you see up is down and right is wrong, when this is happening, we were told this: that these days would be as the days of Noah,” Bachmann said.

The remarks by Graham, Netanyahu and Bachmann come amid a steadily rising wave of public interest in the end times, as demonstrated by recent polls and New York Times and Amazon.com bestselling books such as “The Harbinger: The Ancient Mystery That Holds the Secret of America’s Future,” by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, and “Four Blood Moons: Something is About to Change,” by Pastor John Hagee.

In September, a poll by the Ventura, Calif.-based Barna Group found 4 in 10 Americans – and 77 percent of evangelical Christians – believe the “world is now living in the biblical end times.”

Now, a new wave of end-times predictions for 2014 and 2015 involving blood moons on Jewish holy days and prophetically significant events on the Shemitah – the ancient biblical year of the Sabbath – are igniting even more interest in humanity’s ultimate fate.

Throw in next year’s reboot of the “Left Behind” film featuring Nicolas Cage and the cinematic destruction of biblical proportions in “Noah,” starring Russell Crowe, and last-days fever is back with a mainstream vengeance.

Revival in Iceland: “It’s Like a Child Has Been Born”

Trevor Freeze (Oct 1, 2013)

Despite a huge, concerted effort by homosexual activists to derail Franklin Graham’s Festival of Hope, dramatic testimonies from thousands reveal tears, brokenness, salvation—assurance of a “new beginning” for Iceland.

(Reykjavik, Iceland)—Last Sunday, as Icelanders came streaming down the aisle responding to a Gospel message from Franklin Graham, an emotional night left tears of joy and real hope for a revival to sweep this nation.

It normally takes a lot to move Skúli Barker to tears.

But what he witnessed on Sunday night in his country…

He’ll be the first to tell you, that simply doesn’t happen in Iceland.

“My wife was sobbing next to me,” Skúli said. “And I started to cry. It’s just amazing.”

It started off as a few souls responding at the end of Franklin Graham’s Gospel message and before he knew it, throngs were flooding the stage, elbow-to-elbow, hundreds of people packed in, aisles backed up.

People wanting to meet Jesus. And willing to say that out loud. Pray that out loud.

Salvation & great move of God in Finley, NSW / RUA Prayer in Melbourne / Live webcast with Pr Daniel this Sun 3rd Nov

Surrendering to JesusDear family & friends in Christ,Pr Daniel & team with farming family of 3 generations

1) Pr Daniel stated today, “We thank and praise God for His mighty hand at work in our nation of Australia. While many Pentecostal churches are blocking the Holy Spirit from moving in the church service, I praise God many mainline churches are opening their hearts to the moving of the Holy Spirit and praying in tongues.”

In Darwin a few weeks ago, a couple of Catholic Priests were mightily touched by God and were praying in tongues. Last weekend in Finley, NSW several people from mainline churches, who came to the meetings, were filled with the Holy Spirit and started praying in tongues.

Several others responded to the salvation call and gave their lives to Jesus. One guy in particular, who many had been praying for his salvation, gave his heart to Jesus on Sunday night. He is a very well known businessman known by most people in the area.

Pr Daniel preachingOne of his friends stated, “This is the best thing which is happened in this town this weekend. We have been praying for my friend’s salvation. Praise God he is now born-again.”Worshipping the Lord

As people from around six churches came together, God moved most powerfully. Many travelled more than one hour to get to the meetings. Many responded to the altar call.

The farmers were telling Pr Daniel and the team that it had not rained for months, and that if it does not rain this week, that it will be very hard for them.

Glory to God before Pr Daniel and the team left Finley it started pouring down with rain. Thank you Jesus for answering our prayers.

Over 11,000 Egyptian Youth Gather in Desert to Dedicate Their Lives to Christ

Open Doors Staff (Oct 9, 2013)

“I was surrounded by a massive crowd of people who were taught to love and forgive. Their genuine spirit of love and angelic worship did not leave my thought!” –a Muslim journalist

Given the precarious political and security situation in Egypt, including the death of 53 over the weekend in fighting between security forces and former president Mohammed Morsi supporters, it is hard to imagine that a huge Christian youth conference being held for three days by over 11,000 youth from 250 churches from all denominations could actually be a reality.

But from Sept. 26-28 the “One Thing 2013” youth conference took place for the fifth year in a row in a stadium inside a church conference facility out in the desert 70 miles north of Cairo.

Thousands of youth gathered to seek God’s will not only in their own lives, but in their own country of Egypt as well. It was a major operation to transport thousands from their home cities, towns and villages to the conference venue. About 4,000 youth came all the way from various southern Egyptian cities, even though Egypt’s train system was suspended due to security threats.

Around 7,000 young people had to commute each day back and forth from Cairo, Alexandria and other nearby cities in order to attend the conference. To make sure people came and left on time inside curfew hours, and buses safely commuted everyone, was a daily miracle. None of these hundreds of cars, vans or buses engaged in any minor or major road accidents—something that Christian Egyptians don’t take for granted.

Despite Death Threats, Blasphemy Charges, Youngren Gospel Festival Reaches Thousands

Bill Roberts

Last week’s gospel festival in Makassar, Indonesia, was planned as an outreach to the 2.6 million-strong Makassar people with less than 500 believers. No one could have predicted the outcome—capacity crowds, amazing healings, death threats and on the last day Peter Youngren being called to the police headquarters to be interrogated for ‘blasphemy against Islam,’ a crime that carries a five-year prison sentence.

After pressure from Muslim extremists and with only one day to go until the festival, the city mayor canceled the permit for the event to be held on the huge open grounds in the center of the city. It seemed that all was lost, but God had other plans.

“In spite of everything that happened, this has been one of the most amazing weeks in 30 years of gospel ministry because of how God turned this around,” Youngren says.

The Youngren ministry has conducted 26 gospel festivals in Indonesia since the year 2000, and only twice has a stadium or outdoor venue been canceled due to security reasons.

“The other two times we felt a sense of loss that we had missed an opportunity to present the gospel, but this time was different,” explains Youngren.
